Again she graced me with her presence

Most northern harriers around here hunt over grasslands but one is seen near the lake shore . I discovered this female sitting on a tree limb next to a reedy area . She flew a few sorties over the edge of the lake every time I got within 150 meters or so .

Yes they not only have great eye sight but the conical areas next to ears and eyes help focus sounds of rodents as the harriers fly low over their prey . Thanks

As Mike said, very nice image of the flight.
Dynamic shot, and also very graceful in appearance.

Outstanding captures pichaser! I just saw a harrier gliding by me a few days ago while on a walk. They are awesome raptors.

Yes their flying low over hunting style makes lots of panning chances . Thanks Angky for your comments .

The truth is very little of a harrier even with binoculars is visible without a suitable camera and lens because these birds move constantly . Your positive comments make posting rewarding .
